Then, he would flip to another random page in the book, and find the first occurrence of the letter "h". Let's say +it was in the word "had". He would then write down the letter that followed the "h", in this case "a", then flip to another page in the book, +and find that the first occurrence of "a" was followed by "l", and so on. This program is slightly different. It takes two random (taking into +account the frequencies of letters in English) letters. It finds what those two letters are commonly followed by. Then it takes the last two letters, +and finds what those two letters are commonly followed by, and so on.
